Evolve, Infect, Kill! Pandemic is a game where you get to evolve you own biological virus and wipe out mankind! Please read instructions on how to play the game! West Europe is completely able to be infected, its just hard. May be dangerous to play if you are epileptic. You get points based on number of newly infected people after a turn. For your first few turns you will not receive any points.

Wow, thanks to everyone for the awesome reviews, and thanks to NG for the Tank Award nomination! Many people have been wishing for more features. I'm happy to say I'm working on Pandemic 2 at the moment, and it's feature list is massive. The game will make this (the original) look small and shallow in comparison.

Rather straight forward really, but that, along with being turn based and a few other things, is why i prefer this one over the second. Although, maybe its TOO straight forward (Ngugu sums it up)...

About the review under mine: flashing is all you see most of the time. You can, however, mouse over each continent (sections of Europe included) to see that more people get infected each day, so its not like the game's not working.

West Europe is actually pretty easy to infect every time if you play your cards right.
Strategy:
1. Wait it out a few days or weeks, then start buying transmissions and selling symptoms
2. Make sure you buy "body fluids" under Transmissions before you sell all your symptoms. This way you will have 0 lethality, 0 visibility but 1 infectivity.
3. Keep riding it out and check infecteds in all regions while also keeping track of points
4. As your points go up, fill the transmissions, it should quickly infect everyone (And that includes West Europe)
5. KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL MUAHAHAHAHAAHAH. Once you get lethal, you may see some 200,000+ dead in a day

I tried this 3 times, was successful every time. Oh man, imagine being literally one of the last two or three people alive on Earth...
